Dr. Suzanne Behrens Losito

Dr. Suzanne Behrens-Losito joined the Fairmount Animal Hospital team in 1992 after graduating second in her class at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine.  Her specific interests include internal medicine, endocrinology, geriatrics and herbals.  

Dr. Losito has 4 specific goals with each patient visit:

1. Try to have the patient want to visit the veterinarian, to quell our patients' fears and make them enjoy the visit as much as possible (and the client as well).

2. To empower the client to take the best care of their beloved pet and 'family member' that is possible, individualized for each situation.

3. To provide the best care medically and surgically and preventatively (most important!) that she can, once again individualized for each situation.

4. To treat each patient holistically, to address every aspect of the patient physically, internally, externally, but also emotionally, behaviorally to ensure the best possible bond between pet and pet owner.

Dr. Losito has always had a love for veterinary internal medicine.  Many of her patients have challenging conditions, but the treatments can be successful and the outcome so rewarding!  She has always taken a holistic approach to patients and veterinary medicine - it has always been about the whole patient care.  Herbal medicine has been around for thousands of years but is a new area of interest and expertise for.
